Ahead of their new album Merciless arriving on November 22, Body Count has teamed up with Pink Floyd’s lead/rhythm guitarist, David Gilmour, to reimagine the 1979 classic “Comfortably Numb.” “For me, ‘Comfortably Numb’ is an introspective song—it’s me acknowledging that I’m older now,” Ice-T shares. “I’m telling the younger generation, you’ve got two choices: you can keep the fire burning or you can give up. It’s me trying to make sense of what’s happening but also pointing out that we’re all in a place where we don’t have to face reality. We’ve got flat-screen TVs and popcorn, and we can… Read more »

Ahead of their eagerly awaited back-to-back stop at When We Were Young Fest later this year, The All-American Rejects have launched a spirited cover of Harvey Danger’s 1997 banger, “Flagpole Sitta.” “We’ve always felt that if an idea survives a hangover, then it’s probably a good one,” the band shares in a press release regarding their reimagination of the track. “‘Flagpole Sitta’ was such an idea, born of a late-night, post-show, adrenaline-fueled drive. We recorded it because we wanted to see how it would fall out of us on the floor – either like a hot bag of shit, or… Read more »
